Reading the shelf…
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Gato Dates specializes in creating indulgent, plant-based snacks featuring organic Medjool dates filled with a variety of nut butters and coated in rich dark chocolate.

Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
Gato Dates’ SKUs Berkeley Bowl doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Berkeley Bowl’s current Bay Area storefront: its online catalog plus our shelf photos, a partial view. A widely-distributed brand shown as a new door may already be carried through channels we don’t index. Berkeley Bowl profile →
